1 Over Dentures Examples of Advanced Par al Dentures Tooth Supported Overdentures? Tooth roots Suscep ble to caries and periodontal disease Able to retain bone Physiologically Natural implants Transi onal approach Offer cost effec ve approach in short term for pa ent Measure of success? Clinical Outcomes Pa ent centred outcomes Clinician centred outcomes Measure of success? How do you record success in your notes? What quality standards do you employ? Can you quan fy that success? How many pa ents have been happy? On what scale from 1 to 10? Learning Outcomes Knowledge of Tooth based overdentures Reten on elements Classical Scenario Two canines Crown-root ratio How to construct such dentures Care and maintenance Special men on of the Evidence base of these techniques Roots keep bone in the mandible & reduces resorption in the long term Crum & Rooney

2 Tooth Supported Overdentures Treatment Planning Classical scenario two roots have been endodontically treated and crowns removed Preven on strategy Transi onal approach Edentulous future Implant supported future Tooth Wear Case Diagnosis Treatment Not clear but most likely gastric reflux Endodon cs UR3 Smooth edges of remaining teeth Upper complete overdenture Lower par al denture or acid etch bridge Generalised Non Carious Tooth Tissue Loss (NCTTL) More severe anterior den on Caries to pulp UL1 Inter- occlusal clearance = 7mm Diagnosis Dietary analysis (erosive poten al) Ques oning about any gastric problems Elec ve RCT UL1 (caries to pulp) Accept NCTTL in lower; reshape UR21 UL123 Treatment Plan Upper overdenture, with overlay UR3, acrylic. Care with flange - anterior undercuts. Lower par al denture Increase VDO by 4mm, restore aesthe cs Monitor NCTTL with serial study casts Review Treatment Plan 2

3 Disadvantages of Overdentures???? More technically demanding Extra clinical me and stages Abutment tooth prepara on RCT, perio, cons Abutment maintenance and failure Cost Preven on Impressions Techniques A achments Prac cal Tips Preven on Failure of abutments by caries major issue Many overdenture pa ents already proven caries risk Fluoride and oral hygiene important preven ve measures Fluoride gel inside dentures Simple effec ve Use of fluoride gel daily 5% of teeth develop caries Use of Fluoride Gel Preven on - caries Non - fluoridated abutments 20% of teeth develop caries Stannous Fluoride 3

4 Do fluoride gels reduce dental caries? Applica on of fluoride gels either professionally or self- applied Substan al reduc on in caries increment Independent of other fluoride sources depend on applica on frequency Best on high incidence rather than low Are low incidence pa ents being overtreated? Impressions Final impression spaced tray Techniques 4

5 Abutment failure Periodontal disease 29 % Periapical lesions 19 % Caries 17 % E nger RL, Qian F. Abutment tooth loss in pa ents with overdentures. J Am Dent Assoc. 2004;135: E nger RL, Qian F. Postprocedural problems in an overdenture popula on: a longitudinal study. J Endod. 2004;30: Abutment failure 22 ver cal fractures in 17 subjects Overdenture teeth in maxillary arch opposed by natural teeth more likely to experience ver cal fractures CONCLUSIONS: Study followed up some pa ents for as long as 22 years, rate of tooth loss was 20.0 percent. Many of failures could have been prevented if pa ents had prac ced be er oral hygiene A achments But in other pa ents they don t follow your instruc ons! 5
